    Grain handling facilities at Nevertire

    Nevertire
    Tiny township on the Mitchell Highway
    Nevertire is typical little one pub railway town, located on the Mitchell Highway 526 km north-west of Sydney, between Narromine (68 km south-east) and Bourke (258 km north-west). It is also at the western end of the Oxley Highway, 19 km south-west of Warren.

    Nevertire exists due to the grain handling at the nearby railway station. It has only about a dozen houses. So why is it included? Because Henry Lawson once described it as the edge of the 'Great Grey Plain', the genuinely dry country of saltbush which extends west to the deserts of the centre. When Lawson passed through the town he observed: 'Somebody told me that the country was very dry on the other side of Nevertire. It is. I wouldn't like to sit on it anywhere.'

    It is now a popular place to stay for people working at Auscott Cotton Gin near Warren.
